I cut my knee on a new bathroom handle. I washed the cut with soap and water, applied Neosporin, and it doesn't seem serious. Can I get a dangerous infection or bacteria from this, and should I be worried?

I am a 54-year-old male with no prior medical conditions. I experienced nausea, fatigue, diarrhea, bloating, slight fever, and chills, followed by white stool after consuming dairy products and hydration salts. What could be causing these symptoms and the white stool, and what should I do to recover?

I have a friend who used to do drugs, specifically meth for 6 months. She has been clean for a year, has completed treatment, and is maintaining her sobriety. She is 25 years old. Can her past drug use, particularly meth, still affect her brain, heart, organs, etc., even though she has been clean for a year?

I French kissed a girl and my throat is a little inflamed since I had the flu in the prior week. I was wondering if there is any risk of getting HIV and if I should seek help or get PEP.

I had a bad bladder infection for two weeks. Two cultures came back bad. Then went to the hospital in pain and after pain meds and a full-body CAT scan (clean of any tumors, etc.) and perfect blood work at my physical, I am now very constipated and overall feeling yucky. The urologist will not see me without 3 infections in a year, which I only have 2 a year apart. Do you have any suggestions for me? I am in no pain now, just feel not fully recovered. Thank you.

My father's leg has had edema. His foot started leaking, filling two towels with water, but there's no visible skin break. He has a history of heart problems and is 92 years old. He is already taking Lasix three times a day. Is this a medical emergency, and what else could be causing this issue?
